Abstract: An external fixator for positioning a first element relative to a second element. The external fixator includes a first base for mounting to the first element; a second base for mounting to the second element; a plurality of adjustable effective length struts; connector structure for rotatably attaching the first ends of a first pair of struts relative to one another and relative to the first base; connector structure for rotatably attaching the first ends of a second pair of struts relative to one another and relative to the first base, connector structure for rotatably attaching the first ends of a third pair of struts relative to one another and relative to the first base;  connector structure for rotatably attaching the second ends of the first pair of struts relative to one another and relative to the second base; connector structure for rotatably attaching the second ends of the second pair of struts relative to one another and relative to the second base member; and connector structure for rotatably attaching the second ends of the third pair of struts relative to one another and relative to the second base member.  A method of using an external fixation device to reposition a first bone segment relative to a second bone segment includes attaching said first base member to said first bone segment, attaching said second base member to said second bone segment, and adjusting the effective length of at least one of the struts. The effective length of the struts can be determined from a general deformity equation based on first effective diameter, second effective diameter, neutral strut length, anterior-posterior, lateral-medial and, axial displacements, anterior-posterior and lateral-medial angulations axial rotation, vertical distance from the first base member to the origin, and the amount the second bone segment is rotated about its axis from its correct position.

Title: Diagnostic assay for breast cancer susceptibility
Inventor: JUPE ELDON R
IPC: C12Q1/6886
Filed: 1997-11-06
Granted: 2007-08-07
Abstract: The lifetime probability of a woman developing breast cancer can now be determined based on an allelic variation found in the 3'UTR of the prohibitin gene. The probability is dependent on the sequence o f the 3'UTR at position 729, i.e., whether there is a thymine (T) or a cytosine (C) or both at this position. Polymorphism at position 729 is also disclosed as a susceptibility indicator for hereditary breast cancer in men. Determining the sequence at the position 729 can be do ne by any number of standard techniques. Preferably, the sequence is determined by amplifying this region by PCR and subjecting it to an RFLP analysis.

Title: Reduced keyboard disambiguating system
Inventor: GRUNBOCK CHERYL A
IPC: H03M11/22
Filed: 1998-01-22
Granted: 2003-12-23
Abstract: A reduced keyboard disambiguating system (50). The keyboard (54) has twelve keys (56, 60, 62, 64), nine of them labeled with numerous letters and other symbols, and those nine plus one more are labeled each with one of the ten digits. Textual entry keystrokes are ambiguous. The user strikes a delimiting "Select" key (60) at the end of each word, delimiting a keystroke sequence that could match any of many words with the same number of letters. The keystroke sequence is processed with a complete vocabulary, and words which match the sequence of keystrokes are presented to the user in order of decreasing frequency of use. In addition, stems of longer words whose initial letters match the sequence of keystrokes are also presented to the user in order of decreasing frequency of use. The first work (78) in the presented list (76) is automatically selected by the input of the first character in the next word. The letters are assigned to the keys in a non-sequential order which reduces chances of ambiguities. The "Select" key (60) is pressed to select the desired word other than the first word, and spacing between words and punctuation is automatically computed. For words which are not in the vocabulary, a simultaneous unambiguous interpretation of each keystroke is performed to specify each letter of a desired word. The system simultaneously interprets all keystroke sequences as both ambiguous and unambiguous keystrokes. The user selects the desired interpretation. The system also presents to the user the number which is represented by the sequence of keystrokes for possible selection by the user.

Title: Frame alignment and time domain equalization for communications systems using multicarrier modulation
Inventor: PAKRAVAN MOHAMMAD
IPC: H04L27/26
Filed: 1999-11-10
Granted: 2003-03-18
Abstract: A discrete multitone (DMT) receiver has a time domain equalizer (TDEQ) which is trained during initialization using an estimated channel impulse response (CIR). To eliminate wrap-around of the estimated CIR relative to the DMT frame alignment, and to remove leading zeroes, the estimated CIR is circularly advanced relative to the frame alignment for training the TDEQ. In subsequent communications of DMT symbols via the channel and the TDEQ, the equalized samples of the received DMT symbols are buffered to compensate, in a frame alignment of the received DMT symbols, for the advance of the estimated CIR in the initialization process and for a delay in the TDEQ.

Abstract: A method and system are disclosed for use with a mobile radio network, which receives and analyzes packets from a packet-switched fixed network (101), such as the Internet, and depending on the type of information received (e.g., speech, low speed data, or high speed WWW data), routes the information over an appropriate radio air interface to a mobile radio terminal. The speech information can be routed to mobile radio terminals over a conventional circuit-switched mobile radio link (e.g., a GSM traffic channel) (113), the low speed data can be routed over a packet-switched mobile radio link (e.g., a GPRS traffic data channel) (114), and the high speed data can be routed over a wideband broadcast radio link (e.g., a DAB network radio link) (115).  As a result, mobile radio terminals can advantageously enjoy full access to the Internet and thereby communicate effectively over the Internet with other mobile and wirebound terminals.
